Bought it for the looks and as a space-saver that still has decent work space and storage. Good on all those counts. And if you

Assembly really needs two people, both of whom are PATIENT and determined to make it work. Plus, we simply can't get some of the seams to close; there are gaps because of faulty connectors.
